This Moroccan spice mixture's Arabic name means "top of the shop." It might as well mean "best of the best." The very best curries and stews start with a fragrant, well-seasoned base, and since this Moroccan seasoning comprises 26 different spices, it's nearly impossible to go wrong. Aromatic with cumin and peppers, saffron and cinnamon, use it as the base for a fantastic curry or an outstanding black bean chili.

Here's what you get:

  • Select 4 oz or 0.8 oz of ras el hanout, a combination of 26 different herbs and spices

Memories of Morocco

Though ras el hanout has a heady bouquet of cumin, it is deeper and more complex since it includes 26 spices like grains of paradise, cubeb pepper, Javanese long pepper, and Iranian saffron. Use it where you would cumin—from Mexican to Indian dishes—and see how complex your favorites become. We like to sweat garlic and onions together in grapeseed oil over medium heat, add ras el hanout and curry powder, pour in water or chicken stock, and simmer chicken, pork, chickpeas or goat for a fantastic curry. To make the base of a great black bean chili, toast it quickly in a hot, dry skillet and add it to garlic and onions—your kitchen will smell amazing. This spice stars in Melissa Clark's roasted quail with cherries recipe.
